We all know how difficult it is to get through the day with a cough. If you had it constantly you would not be able to fall asleep. The ones that are influenced by it the most are usually small children and that is due to their weak immune system.

Thus, if you do have it, what you usually do is go to the doctor and they prescribe you a cough syrup. Usually, people believe this is the best solution. However, it can cause many side-effects and create complications.

The most common negative effects of this are a headache, migraine, and sleeplessness. This is due to the fact the two ingredients in the syrup are dextromethorphan and codeine.

Nevertheless, we are here today to tell you that you can use natural ingredients to treat a cough as well. You can use honey for instance. Or, you can try a ginger wrap and honey combined.

Let’s check it out.

If you are preparing this for a child, the kid needs to hold the wrap for 3 hours before bed. Adults, on the other hand, can hold it overnight. What you should know is that ginger wrap will make you sweat more than usual.

The ginger wrap cannot cause negative effects, however, you need to prepare it carefully for the kids due to their sensitive skin.

Rachel Lim’s Story

Rachel is a person who tried this with her kid and it worked. She changed it a bit because she used tin foil. She also added coconut oil instead of olive oil and added the ginger too.

She claimed that her kid always coughed at night, 2-3 hours before bed. When she put it on the baby, she got some amazing results. She even claims that the baby does not cough at all anymore. The best thing about this is that the ginger wrap worked for 4 hours only!

As you can see, honey and ginger are very beneficial and people need to be more aware of what they can do for you!
